Here is another late post. It is dated May 14. Just for the record.  Going to the river, it was so much fun!!!! We went for almost 4 hours and we would have easily stayed longer except that there was no shade whatsoever and we were all being cooked. We splashed and swam, dug and buried, it was just such a treat. We are going to be doing this so much this summer. Jude and Aice are constantly asking for the river and I will be saying yes lots. Speaking of Jude and Alice, they were two crazy kiddos today. First of Jude was trying to drown himself. Literally. He really liked being "saved" so he would through himself down in the water and flail around letting the river take him away. The whole while shouting "Save me, Save me!" The river wasn't to strong but it was deep enough that the little ones could get pushed back. Alice walks into the water and it starts pulling her and she didn't like it. She looks at the river and pulls out a finger and start pointing at the river saying "No! Stop it!" That little pistol was trying to sass the river. We had such a great,great time.  I even bought a sunshade for next time so we can stay out even longer. Wahoo!
